HIGHER RANGE FOR THE 2024 POLESTAR 2 FACELIFT! RWD REVIEW

EV Channels Review

The 2024 Polestar 2 facelift receives significant upgrades, particularly in efficiency and range, thanks to a more powerful and efficient RWD electric motor and an increased battery capacity (79 kWh net). The reviewer highlights the improved driving dynamics with the RWD setup, noting a sportier feel and better cornering compared to the previous model. While the exterior design is largely unchanged, the interior offers a more traditional car-like interface than the Tesla Model 3, with pleasant materials and a functional Google-based infotainment system. However, rear seat space and comfort remain a drawback, and the ride can be stiff, especially with larger wheels. The reviewer praises the real-world range, achieving over 500 km (300+ miles) in mixed conditions, a substantial improvement. Despite its strengths, the higher price point compared to the Tesla Model 3 is a significant consideration.
